Abstract: The invention relates to a driver (100) for emergency lighting means (101), comprising output terminals (111a-b) for electrically supplying at least one emergency lighting means (101), and a test switch (103) for starting a test routine controlled by a controller (109) of the driver (100), wherein the driver (100) is settable to a commissioning mode if the test switch (103) is activated according to a predefined operation pattern defined by time durations and/or repetition criteria of the operation pattern.

Abstract: An emergency converter device provides an interface for selecting an operation parameter for an emergency operation mode of the emergency converter device. The emergency converter device provides a supply current ILED to a load device, in particular to a lighting module including on or more light emitting diodes. The emergency converter device comprises a control circuit configured to set at least one operating parameter of the emergency converter device, an interface comprising a first terminal and a second terminal for connecting electrically a status indicator light emitting diode, and a detection circuit connected to the control circuit. The detection circuit is configured to detect a polarity of the status indicator light emitting diode connected to the first terminal and the second terminal, and the control circuit selects the at least one operating parameter of the emergency converter device based on the detected polarity.
